We can help you get the results you need—and much more. See the wide range of programs and tools available to you. And if you don’t find what you’re looking for, we can create it!

Corporate Culture Building Programs

These purposefully fun, proven programs are designed for groups (large and small) that divide into teams. Typically between 1 ½ and 4 hours long, these programs are designed so that participants have an opportunity to enhance working relationships and to build collaboration across job functions, locations, or organizations.

All Fore! One and One Fore! All™
Envision, design, and build your own dream miniature golf course—then play on it—with plenty of twists and turns along the way. This innovative team-building program encourages interaction, collaboration, and teamwork among your people as they take part in a creative, fun, problem-solving challenge.

Trade Up
It may seem a little preposterous at first. Exactly how can you elevate the value of a rubber ducky in the eyes of a stranger on the street so that they are motivated to give you ____ (fill in the blank…the possibilities have proven endless)?! Your team will devise a strategy and then execute it by continuing to “trade up” to reach your goal. It’s not just the end result that matters in Trade Up. Your journey is equally important. Based on the One Red Paper Clip story (over the course of one year and 14 trades, a man turns one red paperclip into a house n Saskatchewan, Canada), this exercise is designed to challenge teams to take it to the next level. Afterwards you’ll discuss which teams were most successful. Was it the team that clearly articulated and executed its strategy? The team that converted the rubber ducky into the object of the greatest monetary value? Or, perhaps, the team whose final trade yielded the greatest positive social impact? You’ll decide.

Launch!™
Propel your team to new heights as team members design and construct a working catapult out of the most unlikely materials—and meet a set of challenging customer specifications. It’s about devising a strategy, overcoming obstacles, innovating, using resources wisely—and most importantly, working together. Everyone collaborates to pursue a difficult goal. And when the catapult goes into action, everyone shares a sense of accomplishment.

Novotran I
Your team becomes employees of Novotran, Inc., the world’s leading manufacturer of people-powered vehicles. Now you have to create and race the first-ever prototype vehicles. Working against the clock, you need to complete your prototype and test it under rigorous scrutiny. The team that meets and exceeds customer specifications moves their vehicle into full- scale production. There’s plenty of innovation and collaboration as teams hit the track.

It’s a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad Hunt™
One of our most popular programs, this one-of-a-kind scavenger hunt takes participants outside their comfort zone and transports them to a whole new zone of high-energy teamwork. We customize the hunt to meet your specific goals, challenges, and budget. Give your people stories to tell for years to come—the kind that become part of your company’s folklore and culture. It’s all about collaboration, decision-making, influence without authority, time management, creative thinking, and developing an “anything is possible” attitude.

Insight Edition™
Lights, camera, interaction. Your team needs to have a newscast ready in two hours. Hit the streets, chase down the top stories, and capture it all on film. Could your team be up for an award? Stay tuned. While putting together the news, your team learns about collaboration and communication under pressure, creative thinking (and fast), interaction and teamwork, and much more. The big news? This program is fun, innovative, and amazingly effective.

Great Eggs-pectations
The egg-timer is ticking! Your team has a small budget, some unusual resources, and a challenge that just may seem impossible—building a device that safely protects your team's eggs when dropped from an extraordinary height. Prepare yourself for some true team building and a lot of laughter as you generate new teamwork and collaboration, boost energy to the roof, inspire innovative thinking, and put creative problem-solving skills to the test.

Horse in the Hotel™
Fast-paced competition and uncontrollable laughter are just the beginning when you compete in this varied series of innovative team challenges. Teams go head to head as they tap their talents and chart their own strategy for success. Strengthen networks and build relationships among colleagues through this fun, highly interactive program that requires strategic planning and true team collaboration.

Rush Hour™
Ever feel like you’re racing against the clock to outwit and outshine your competitors? Looking to draw on the strengths of your team to distinguish yourself as an individual and as a company? It’s a race to outwit, outshine, and outplay your opponents. Teams that can think fast on their feet and act even faster are sure to be successful in this activity. This fun, engaging program is all about creativity and resourcefulness. Promote camaraderie and team spirit, boost energy and enthusiasm, and build key skills—creativity, time management, communication, and more.

Good to Great Team Poker™
Everyone thinks they know how to play poker. But do they know how to play it successfully as a team? This program builds teamwork and collaboration by turning an old game into a new one—and turning competition into collaboration. New teamwork and smashed paradigms are in the cards for everyone.

We design our multi-layered behavioral simulations to generate a-ha’s from participants as they do something that seems unrelated to their real team and work situations. Then when they catch themselves being themselves, they realize how the simulations apply to their world—and how they can apply what they learn back at the office.

Customized Community Service Projects
We work with you to create a fun and memorable community-based teambuilding or leadership development project that matches your needs. We work in partnership with a community-based volunteer service program (e.g., YouthBuild), a local green-up organization (community gardens and/or tree-planting foundation), a parks department (playground construction), or a local volunteer coordination center (e.g., BostonCares or Hands On Orlando). Then we help design and deliver a powerful team-building experience over and above your powerful community-based projectcombining community and your organization like never before.

What Goes Around Comes Around Reconnect with your inner child  and teammates  while fulfilling the dreams of less fortunate children who greatly benefit from the bikes you will build and present to them. Leapfrog adds our own special sauce to what’s become a popular team building activity by creatively challenging participants to “gear up” as leaders. Make a difference in the community and demonstrate for others that what goes around comes around!

Compounding Good
Take yourself back to August 2005 when Hurricane Katrina hit the US Gulf Coast  one of the deadliest hurricanes in the history of the US. Remember how horrified you were then to learn about the devastation it caused? Ever wonder what you could have done then (or can even still do now) to help Katrina victims, if only you had some time? In this Leapfrog-original program, you’ll be given focused time and limited resources to find out exactly how you can make a difference in the lives of others. Leverage the collective talents and creativity of your teammates and challenge yourselves to maximize the impact you can make for a particular worthy cause or group in need. Along the way, you’ll surely experience leadership in action.

Riding Change
Successfully implementing new systems, business processes and organizational structures is tricky business. Even when everyone is seemingly onboard with the new direction, riding change’s emotional ups, downs, loops and dives leads to frustration for some which can negatively impact productivity. This two-hour core module uses three short experiential exercises supported by facilitated discussion to help teams anticipate varying reactions to change and effectively communicate in the midst of it.

Mark-It Place
Your competition has just entered a market that you’re slated to enter next quarter. Do you react to counteract their actions now or stay on plan to execute your carefully designed strategy? Mark-it Place is a team-based business strategy simulation based loosely on the board game Othello™. Like Othello, the primary objective in Mark-it Place is to establish market share and defend it as well as capture your competition’s territory and convert it to yours. The team with the greatest share of market and customers wins. Use strategic planning and tactical thinking. Build decision-making. Encourage leadership. And much more—all in a few short hours.

Pawn’s Perspective™
You are one of three teams charged with the same challenge—to use your resources (cards with a variety of shapes) to build one of many pre- determined designs—and to earn team points. Only careful planning and strategic thinking will ensure your team’s success. And if all three teams collaborate and communicate effectively, the overall organization can maximize success. Enable the shift from competitive to collaborative teamwork. Think of the big picture. Develop communication and negotiation skills. And encourage a wide range of skills—from time management to leadership. All in an extremely innovative, fun program

Orienteaming™
Your R&D department makes a breakthrough discovery that will revolutionize the future of mankind! Find out how to capture as much revenue as possible as quickly as possible—even though a rival company has made the same breakthrough at the same time as yours! Your team will need to rely on effective planning and execution, efficient use of time and people resources, flexibility and adaptability to changing conditions, innovative and creative thinking, and collaboration and communication.

To Market, to Market™
This active, hands-on, fun simulation provides a significant challenge and the opportunity for significant accomplishment—plus huge amounts of laughter for even the most successful groups. Teams must draw upon their members’ individual and combined talents to decide how to deliver new products to an unfamiliar market. They must design and execute a strategy that will determine what products will be the top priority—and how to deliver them to the marketplace. It will take collaboration, strategic planning, priority-setting, role-setting, goal-setting and innovative thinking to go to market in the best possible way.

Novotran II
During this complex but fun behavioral simulation, your team works to envision, design, manufacture, market, and race an innovative, people- powered vehicle. All to meet the specifications required by a global customer consortium. Working against the clock, you need to complete your prototype and test it under rigorous scrutiny. The team that meets and exceeds customer specifications moves their vehicle into full-scale production. There’s plenty of innovation and collaboration as teams hit the track. And we customize this simulation to dovetail directly with your learning curriculum

These shorter learning simulations of an hour or less are designed to deliver focused, active learning opportunities within the context of a meeting or learning agenda.

A-Maze-ing Strategies™
Sometimes it seems virtually impossible to get from Point A to Point B. In this micro-simulation, it may not be easy, but it will be lots of fun. Using a 9X6 grid, team members will search out the safe path and then move their entire team through the maze as quickly as possible. Sound easy? Communication restrictions and the shifting conditions challenge your team to strategize, collaborate and support one another in ways that will be critical to your team’s success. This great experiential exercise builds awareness of four stages of team development. It builds trust among your team, as well as new communication and negotiation skills. Plus it’s interactive and fun.

Story of Relativity™
Learners review a story about a group of people and their behaviors, ranking them from least to most objectionable. They find that bad behavior isn’t always as wrong as it seems, and that everyone has their own set of values. Everyone learns from this thought-provoking micro-simulation, which has resonance with day-to-day business.

Kaizen
This fast and furious 45-minute exercise gets groups moving and shaking as they solve a sequential task. Get a much-needed boost of energy to kick-start your meetings. Teams collaborate and explore the dynamics of process improvement. And they learn from each other, sharing best practices—just the way they need to back at the office. All via this fast- paced, intensely engaging, fun activity.

FastWord™
This exercise seems simple, but the results are complex. Combine 40 lettered blocks, innovative and committed teammates, and a few minutes of fast-paced spelling. It’s about more than getting the most out of the letters. It’s about streamlining the work process, improving execution and adoption of strategies, tapping the unique talents of each team member, and adapting in real time. How will your process improve during multiple attempts? Now your team can see how it spells success.

On Target
Your team has been assigned a task to accomplish in subgroups. Shatter existing assumptions about competition, problem solving, learning from others and “the way it’s always been done” in this elegant-but-simple exercise packed with a-ha’s.

Blue Cup™
Examine your resources and those around you carefully. Can you group yourselves according to valid common characteristics? Think creatively and focus on overall group success. Watch out. You may have to give up your personal agenda for the good of the group!

Labyrinth it-US™
Collaboratively deliver products to desired target markets in a unique “marketplace” resembling that fun wooden labyrinth game you once played as a kid. You must agilely coordinate execution of your strategic plan to achieve your revenue goal. Sounds familiar, eh?

Weave these short, highly interactive activities and energizers throughout your meeting agenda or learning curriculum to pump up the energy and keep your people engaged with each other—and with key meeting messages or learning content.

Her/His StoriesWhat better way to accelerate the getting-to-know-you process than hearing each other's unique stories! Clever prompts spark sharing to loosely structure introductions over a meal or throughout a conference. Create deeper connections between people through storytelling to lubricate networking and collaboration on the job.

Who'da Thunk It?
Simply by asking employees and customers for ideas for how to use its baking soda product, ARM & HAMMER® greatly increased revenue. That powder in the little yellow box is now marketed as a refrigerator air filter, toothpaste, cleaner and much more. Who'da thunk it? Prime the pump for your own product and service innovations using this fun, quick brainstorming activity that gets ideas flowing.

Face2Face: Converse & Connect
It's common nowadays to work with people you've never met in person. Help folks connect faces to names at your next conference to greatly enhance future at-a-distance interactions. Use customized trivia challenges incorporating key meeting messages and personal profile data provided by participants to kickstart f2f conversations during breaks and meals.

Conversational Orbits
Discover unique, interesting and unexpected connections with the others at your table. Later, Conversational Orbits maps can be posted to show the connections organization-wide.

Balloon Tower
Teams work to build the tallest free-standing tower they can, using only balloons and tape. You’ll be surprised at how much ingenuity and collaboration can happen in just a few short minutes. And your people will interact and communicateduring this exercise and throughout the rest of your meeting or conference. Add focused design elements (i.e., goal setting or reaching consensus) and you’ve got some real meat to chew on even in a quick exercise.

MoZo
Teams collaborate to put together a series of compelling images in sequence to tell a story. The sequence isn’t obvious, and requires fluid communication, creativity, effective team process, and most of allbig-picture thinkingto be successful.

The Big Question
Use compelling questions to help energize people and get them working in groups effectively. People ask questions and create answersgetting to know each other in the process, and getting collaboration off to a great start.

Toothpaste
Teams group together quickly based on answers to personal questions about their preferences. They learn about each other and themselves in this quick-thinking exercise that adds energy and helps people get to know each other.

Team BoostersBuilding and maintaining successful teams takes focus, energy and commitment. Team Boosters is a 1-1.5 day facilitated team intervention designed to help you jumpstart a new team or rejuvenate an existing team that may have stalled or gone stale. Connect team members to each other and their commonly shared purpose to inspire commitment, fine-tune team communications and help individual team members assume accountability for their actions.

Conference Effectivenss Training Maximize ROI from attendance at industry ConferencesSituation: Even in tough economic times, many businesses want their employees out in the marketplace, staying in touch with clients and making new contacts. Attending industry conferences remains a reasonable, low cost way to continue business development, but how do you ensure that you get a return from this investment of expenses and time? How do you get the maximum impact from the efforts of people who may not feel confident or skilled enough to make a powerful, lasting impression?

Business Puropse: Leapfrog has created a short, practical workshop - coupled with coaching- that helps you get more leverage from your investment in conferences. Leapfrog training and consultants can help your people:

Detect and Connect
This workshop focuses on giving individuals the knowledge, insight, and tools they need to communicate effectively and achieve desired outcomes consistently. It’s based on Effective Intelligence®, which provides a powerful system of integrated assessments, instruments, tools, and concepts that help improve the performance of individuals, teams, and your entire organization. Bottom line? This workshop helps give participants insights into their thinking style and how it affects everyone around them. It helps boost team productivity, resolve problems, make decisions, and get things done.

E Before I: Emotional Intelligence
Have you ever been so angry that you “can’t think straight?” Have you ever been so upset (or so happy) that you just can’t focus? If emotions aren’t managed well, they can get in the way of productive and effective performance. This skill-building workshop explores the science of emotional intelligence to improve communication and collaboration. It helps enhance the self-awareness of participants, identify specific competencies that need development, empower learners with new strategies and tools, and improve their overall personal leadership skills.

Reel ServiceGetting Teams Hooked
Improving customer satisfaction dramatically requires critical skills, and the ability to truly understand your clients’ needs, and provide the best possible solution. This workshop combines key components to help boost your team’s ability to listen to clients, identify their needs, and ensure that all your customers end every interaction feeling like they are your most important customer. If you’re interested in boosting customer satisfaction, this powerful, fun workshop is for you.

“I was a little skeptical when I first talked to Leapfrog about the Mad Hunt. Although I liked the idea I was afraid that some management and a few employees would think it frivolous… I cannot imagine that this event could have been better. People are still talking about it.”
